Robot production lines need robot technicians to support them. I doubt you'll find many of those in Bangladesh any time soon.

- HillaryBriss 9y agoeventually though. there are, no doubt, some very skillful, very resourceful sewing machine repair techs there. i guess that time window is how long the automatic t-shirt making business remains viable in the US.
- photojosh 9y agoIIRC most of the world's hard drives are made in Thailand, not too far away. They found them somewhere. :) And one robot replaces 17 workers, it's probably around 1 robot tech to support 10-20 machines. According to these stats [1], in Bangladesh there's 4800 factories with around 725 workers on average. So that would be 40 machines with one worker each to supervise and 3-4 robot techs. 5 people to replace 725!
